hi ray, i will name it has you say, i suspect there are many similar and it is hard to be sure , this only the second i have flowered.there was a larger ferocactus for sale at the show, and that needed 2 men to carry it. when they get that big they take up a lot of room in a greenhouse. david

Hi, it could be F. horridus? Nice specimen. It'll be fine down to freezing if you dry it right out and keep it dry and away from drafts/damp air.
